Cottesloe Flour Mill (former)

Red brick, arched windows and an old loading bay reveal a very different side of Cott. Flour was milled on this site for most of the twentieth century, with the surviving 1930s building towering above the surrounding houses. Look up at the old hoist opening and imagine bags of flour moving between its floors.

Find the former mill at 14 Athelstan Road near Curtin Avenue. View its brick elevations from the public street frontage; the site is privately occupied.

The industrial story here began in the early 1900s with the Eureka Flour Mill, alongside an electric light works and pressed-steel works. The mill expanded over the decades, and the substantial brick building you see today was constructed in 1937-38. Milling continued on the site until 1990, when the operation closed because there was no room left to expand.

There are plenty of working details still visible. Cardup bricks were laid in English bond, shallow brick arches span the old window openings, and strong vertical brick pilasters divide the upper floors. In the central bay, door openings and the position of the old hoist show where goods once moved through the building. Remnants of the rail siding that served the industrial site also survive.

The former mill is now residential and has been on the State Register of Heritage Places since 1996, so enjoy it from the public edge of Athelstan Road rather than heading inside. Its scale is the giveaway - an unexpectedly large piece of Cottesloe's industrial past sitting among today's homes.
